00:00Becky, Bayo, Salot, Salipunan,
00:05ilan lang ito sa mga masasakit na salitang aking araw-araw na narinig tungkol sa aking pagkatao.
00:14Kung magdasal na lang kaya ako na maging straight,
00:17Dear Dano,
00:19Carrie lang kaya,
00:21Is it okay to pray the gay away?
00:25Ang aking kasagutan dyan ay,
00:29Hindi po, ate.
00:32Hanggang ngayon, marami pa rin ang nagpo-push at namumwersa sa ilang miyembro ng LGBTQIA plus community na,
00:40quote-unquote,
00:41gamutin o baguhin, quote-unquote,
00:45ang kanilang gender identity sa pamamagitan ng conversion therapy at practices.
00:51May mabuti nga ba itong dulot?
00:53O mas nakasasama pa sa LGBTQIA plus person ang sapilitang conversion?
01:00I am Dano Tenggungko and here's what you need to know.
01:10Conversion therapy.
01:12Ito ay isang attempt emotionally o physically na ayusin,
01:20quote-unquote,
01:21o gamutin,
01:23quote-unquote,
01:24ang sexual orientation,
01:25gender identity,
01:26at gender expression
01:28ng isang tao.
01:30Sa ibang bansa,
01:31ginagawa ito sa mga conversion camps,
01:34na karaniwan ay affiliated sa mga religious group.
01:37Conversion therapy works on an assumption that LGBTQIA people can be converted,
01:44can be changed to a different sexual orientation or different gender identity or different gender expression.
01:50So, in simple terms,
01:53it is inauthentic,
01:55it is unhealthy,
01:56and it forces a person to give up their authentic lived realities.
02:01Dito naman sa Pilipinas,
02:03almost 1 out of 5 LGBTQIA plus youth
02:07ang nakaranas na ng conversion therapy.
02:10Base ito sa kauna-unahang survey ng The Trevor Project sa Pilipinas na isinagawa noong nakaraang taon.
02:16Ang The Trevor Project ay isang US-based NGO na naglalayong tigilan ang pagtaas ng suicide rate sa kabataang LGBTQIA plus.
02:26Ang consequence,
02:28dumarami ang kanilang mental health issues.
02:32Some people develop depression or mood disorders.
02:36Others develop anxiety disorders.
02:38Not because they are gay or LGBT,
02:42but simply because of the traumas that they go through
02:45of being rejected or being forced.
02:48Pag halimbawa,
02:49if forced ang conversion therapy,
02:51there is a chance that
02:53magkaroon ng anxiety
02:55or anxiety disorders
02:57or ng depression or mood disorders
02:59ang isang tao.
03:01Kasi pinipwera sa sila na baguhin yung totoong
03:04pagkatao nila.
03:05Base sa kanilang kasarian or sexuality
03:07or gender at the same time.
03:09Mataas din ang mental health risk
03:11sa mga questioning at closeted
03:13o yung mga hindi patuluyang matanggap
03:15ang kanilang sarili.
03:17Really pose potential risk
03:19in the life of a person
03:20who's in the closet
03:21because in the first place,
03:22they're in the closet
03:23because they have come to realize
03:25that they're questioning their
03:27maybe sexual orientation,
03:28maybe gender identity,
03:30maybe both.
03:31So inside the person's mind
03:33in their psyche,
03:35they're already questioning
03:36their identities
03:37and they are being reprimanded
03:40and being told
03:41that they can change
03:42and they can give it up.
03:44May mga classic psychological concepts
03:46na tinatawag natin
03:46cognitive dissonance.
03:48Yung bang kinikwestion mo
03:49yung belief mo,
03:51so sa isang nasa closet,
03:52lalong lalala
03:53yung psychological tensions
03:56na nararamdaman nila
03:57na hindi na nga nilang matanggap
03:58sarili nila
03:59tapos hindi pa sila
04:00makakapag-out
04:00tapos pipilitin pa silang mag-iba.
04:03Nalaman din ng
04:04The Trevor Project
04:05na mataas ang mental health risk
04:07sa LGBTQIA plus youth
04:09na naglayas
04:10o pinalaya
04:11sa sarili nilang tahanan.
04:13Another stories
04:14you might find
04:15will be of LGBTQIA people
04:17being harmed
04:19in their own homes.
04:21So imagine the kind of threat
04:22that that poses
04:23in the life
04:24of a child
04:25or a person
04:26in general.
04:27Pinaka-accepting dapat
04:29ang families
04:30kasi studies would show
04:31yung unang stigma
04:32at discrimination
04:33nararanasan
04:35ng isang batang beki
04:36o lesbiana
04:37o trans
04:37sa loob mismo
04:38ng kanyang pamilya
04:39at ito yung pinakamatindi
04:41ang tama at dagok
04:42sa ating psychological well-being
04:44kasi it will result
04:45into childhood trauma
04:47na maaring permanente
04:49ang epekto
04:49sa individual na ito.
04:51Imagine a 10-year-old
04:5211-year-old child
04:53sasabihan
04:54at itatama
04:56dahil mali sila
04:57and we know that
04:58coming to terms
04:59with our sexuality
05:00pagtanggap sa ating sarili
05:01mahabang proseso yan
05:03at yung proseso na yan
05:04laging mahirap
05:05kasi alam natin na
05:06mahirap tanggapin
05:07ang sarili
05:08kasi mahirapan tanggapin
05:09tayo ng pamilya
05:10at ng lipunan.
05:12Malala ang magiging epekto
05:13doon sa mental well-being
05:15ng mga taong
05:16dumadaan
05:16sa ganitong
05:17napaka-inhumane
05:19na proseso.
05:20Ayon sa Psychological
05:22Association of the Philippines
05:23so PAP
05:24madalas
05:25ay napipressure
05:26ang mga
05:27LGBTQIA plus
05:28persons
05:29na itago
05:30ang totoo nilang
05:31pagkatao
05:32para tanggapin sila
05:33ng lipunan
05:34at ng mga mahal nila
05:35sa buhay.
05:36Kaya naman
05:37nung 2020
05:38kinundin na nila
05:39ang lahat
05:40ng SOGI-based
05:41stigma
05:41at discrimination.
05:43Lalong-lalo na
05:44yung
05:45conversion therapy
05:46na yan.
05:46Pero hanggang ngayon
05:48wala pa rin tayong
05:49sapat na batas
05:50na pumuprotekta
05:52sa LGBTQIA plus
05:54community
05:54laban
05:55sa mga ito.
05:57Sa lalong madaling panahon
05:58kinakailang ipasa natin
05:59ang SOGI-Equality Bill
06:01kasi sa ilalim
06:02ng panukalang batas
06:03na ito
06:04sinasabi natin
06:05na bawal
06:05ang discrimination
06:06on the basis
06:07of sexual orientation
06:08gender identity
06:10gender expression
06:11at sex characteristics.
06:13At tingin ko
06:13itong
06:14nagma-conversion therapy
06:16na talaga namang
06:16mapanakit
06:17doon
06:18sa well-being
06:18ng mga tao
06:19isa itong
06:20matinding forma
06:21ng discrimination.
06:22Kung
06:23sapilitan kang
06:24kinoconvert
06:25ng isang tao
06:26o ng isang grupo
06:27at meron kang
06:29mga resibo
06:30o pruweba
06:30magagamit mo pa rin
06:32ang mga kasalukuyang
06:34batas
06:34para mapanagot sila.
06:37Unang pinakamahalaga
06:38na malaman natin
06:39ay saan yung
06:39pinakamalapit na
06:40VAO-CDESC
06:41kasi halimbawa
06:42kung ikaw ay nasa
06:43isang LGU
06:44kung saan
06:44meron ng
06:44anti-discrimination
06:45ordinance
06:46empowered ang
06:47VAO-CDESC
06:48to take on
06:48yung mga kaso
06:49ng violence
06:51against women,
06:52children,
06:52and members
06:52of the LGBTQIA
06:54community
06:54or yung mga tao
06:55na nakaranas
06:56ng stigma
06:57and discrimination
06:57on the basis
06:58of VAO-CDESC.
07:00Marami tayong
07:01pwede gamitin
07:01na batas
07:02lalo na
07:02kung ito
07:02ay nakapag-inflict
07:03ng harm.
07:05Kung ito
07:05ay nagresulta
07:06doon sa
07:07pagbaba
07:07ng well-being
07:08ng tao,
07:09marami mga batas
07:10na pwede gamitin
07:11doon sa mga
07:11practitioners.
07:12Pero sa dulo,
07:13kung sila ay bahagi,
07:14for example,
07:15of the society
07:16noong psychologist,
07:17maaaring
07:18tanggalan sila
07:19ng lisensya
07:19noong kanilang society
07:21dahil gumawa sila
07:22ng labag
07:23doon sa best interest
07:24yan man ay
07:24ng bata
07:25o noong kanilang pasyente.
07:27Sa mga kapatid natin
07:28na pinipilit na
07:29paranasin
07:30noong conversion therapy
07:31yan man ay
07:32through yung
07:32traditional practices
07:34o mas yung
07:34cultural practices.
07:36Sa dulot,
07:36kung kayo natin
07:37tumindig at lumaban
07:38na huwag,
07:39gawin natin yun
07:40sapagkat walang mali
07:41sa iyo,
07:42walang kailang
07:43itama sa iyo
07:44ang iyong pagiging
07:45trans woman,
07:46trans man,
07:47Becky or lesbiana
07:48ay bahagi
07:49ng pagiging ikaw.
07:51Kaya walang mali
07:52sa iyo.
07:53Doon sa mga
07:53magulang
07:54na ginagawa ito
07:55sa kanilang mga anak,
07:57isipin nyo po,
07:58sinasaktanin nyo
07:59ang inyong mga anak
07:59pag sinabject nyo sila
08:01sa conversion therapy.
08:02Parang sinasabi nyo
08:03sa kanilang
08:04hindi nyo sila mahal
08:05at hindi nyo sila matanggap.
08:0720 plus years na
08:08yung SOGI equality bill
08:10tengga pa rin
08:11at hindi pa rin
08:12mais sa batas.
08:14Panangga
08:14at proteksyon
08:15sana ito
08:16hindi lamang
08:17sa karapatang pantao
08:18kundi pati
08:19sa karapatang
08:19magpakatotoo.
08:21Pero ito ang say ko.
08:22Hindi mo
08:23kailangang
08:24magbago.
08:25At may community
08:26na handang
08:27yumakap sa iyo
08:28ng buong buo
08:30at ipaglaban
08:31ang mga karapatan mo.
08:33Happy Pride!
08:33God bless you!
08:51God bless you!
